Poetrepreneur - Video 2...and Thank YOU!

Today's post is about gratitude. Gratitude to the Poetry Friday community for their kindness, support and feedback as I launch my new Poetrepreneur venture which was born out of crisis. Thank you for your kind words, supportive comments, and helpful feedback. I TRULY appreciate it.

Today I am sharing the second video in my 10 Steps to Writing Poetry videos: 10 Steps to Writing Limerick Poems. It comes in at 5:46 - much more doable time wise!

I have incorporated all the amazing feedback I got on my Riddle poem video (shorten the length, lower the volume of typing/music, include voice over, etc.) in this Limerick video.

Enjoy, and thank YOU!

*HUGE thank you to my daughter, Maureen for doing the
voice over on the Riddle poem video and to my husband, Joe for lending
his voice on the Limerick video.

P.S. (You can watch the new and improved version (ie. shorter) of the Riddle Poem video here.)

It really is well done, Bridget. I like that you share the steps, part by part, so supportive & fun to see the asides from those thumbprints. The best thing is you make it look easy, will help others to get going to write their own.

Nice job, Bridget. I was definitely captivated. Attention wavered when we got to checking spelling, but that was so close to the end. I love the little peanut characters and their comments. Such a fun project!

Another really cute video, Bridget! And I love the voice overs in both videos. I have two specific comments. First, the limerick characteristics section rolled by a bit quickly for me (I was struggling to keep up). The other thing is that you talk about a limerick being in anapestic meter, but yours is iambic. For the age group your targeting, maybe it's best to leave out the more technical terms altogether...?

Thank you, Michelle - the Limerick master! Your feedback is invaluable. I was worried about using the anapestic term/ meter issues. Best to not confuse the learner. I will edit soon. I SO appreciate your expertise!
